Oh my! Porn star Mr. Marcus has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for knowingly exposing two of his female co-stars to syphilis last year. Marcus, whose real name is Jesse Spencer, was the main focus of a STD scandal that temporarily stopped adult video productions.
"Spencer, who admitted having altered documents recording the results of mandatory medical tests all porn actors must take, pleaded no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court to knowingly exposing another to a communicable disease. He was also sentenced 36 months’ probation and 15 days of community labor.
The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said Spencer got a penicillin shot on July 13 after having tested positive for syphilis. After he tested positive again eight days later, he altered a photocopy of the original test form, it said."
Spencer worked on two videos last July with two female co-stars. The women noticed the forms had been altered and turned the star into police. The women tested negative for syphilis.
Look, I like a good Mr. Marcus flick as much as the next gal, but passing around syphilis? That's just wrong. 30 days was too soft a sentence. For his part though, he has apologized for his actions, and claims he went ahead with the video because his doctor told him he wasn't contagious.
"I have to live with this. No one else does," he said. "I'm sorry. I'm very sorry."
What do you think?
